TENNYSON. PREFACE THE task of preparing a suitable account of a life which was remarkable for the diverse character of its sustained interests and accomplished aims, has here been attempted by the method of fitting together, chronologically, the allotted portions of two separate authors. Each author being responsible for his own writing, each is separately indebted for assistance rendered. In presenting my portion, which I do with the greatest diffidence, I specially desire to thank Professor A. Seth Pringle-Pattison for his valued contribution of the chapter dealing with his late colleague's philo- sophical works. I thank my mother for constant aid in recollection of past events, and I thank also those who have so kindly contributed to the chapters dealing with University and public work in Edinburgh. I am iv HENRY CALDERWOOD greatly indebted to Dr. Hume Brown for revision of proofs. W. L. C. EDINBURGH, ist Aug. 1900. The portion of this work with which I have been specially charged has been to pourtray the ecclesiastical life and religious influence of Professor Calderwood. This I have sought to do in Chapters II. to VII. inclusive, and in Chapters XI., XII., XIV., and XVI. In the performance of this task, I have been greatly indebted to a large circle of friends of the late Professor Calderwood. Besides those whose contribu- tions are acknowledged, I desire specially to thank Rev. David Cairns (late of Stitchell), and Dr. Sydey of New Zealand for help in Divinity Hall chapter; Mr. H. Barnett of Glasgow for information on the ministry in and of and Greyfriars ; Rev. J. Oman, B.D., Alnwick, Rev. J. Willcock, B.D., of Lerwick, for kind assistance in correction of proofs. D. WOODSIDE. GLASGOW, August 1900.

THE quiet old town of Peebles was the birthplace of Henry Calderwood, and, in spite of modern railways and one or two large mills, it is still quiet, and is still in the fresh, healthy country. A Royal Burgh since the time of David II., son of Bruce, the town nestles in the beautiful valley of Tweed, and is surrounded on every side by steep pastoral hills. From Tweed Bridge, where the river is broad and rapid, one can view the old castle of Neidpath standing guard by its wooded defile. The old peel towers, in a chain from Berwick to the Bield, have flashed their warnings on Cromwell's artillery and Prince Charlie's kilted followers. Now, however, all sights and sounds bring a sense of peace and harmony to the county town. Contra nando incrementum, runs the legend of the Burgh arms, on which one salmon is depicted swimming to the right, as against the stream, while two are swimming B 2 HENRY CALDERWOOD back again, the sermon of the salmon on the benefits of adversity. Three gates or ports formerly pierced the walls, and the street called the Norgate now exists as the entrance from the Edinburgh road, the spacious High Street being still, as we suppose it ever will be, the principal artery of the town. As one enters by Norgate, past the once famous Cleikum Inn, and turns to the right in High Street, the house in which Henry Calderwood was born, on loth May 1830, is within sixty paces. It can be readily distinguished by a curious old sculp- tured stone in the centre of the harled wall, bearing date " 1717, with the motto, God's Providence is my in- heritance." Never did any of the family visit Peebles " but " Turnbull's House was examined and the old motto read. It seems to have been the object of special interest to the son of the house, for in some of the treasured books of early days, under the boyish signature of Henry Calderwood we find the motto transcribed. William Calderwood, the father, was also born in Peebles, and is described by those who knew him as a man of keen intelligence, high purpose, and strictly honourable a fearless in dealing ; Christian, who judging his course of action sought merely to find the right, without regard to consequences. Once the right was determined, all counting of cost or speculation of result became idle waste of time. A man of great practical insight, he was frequently consulted, both in Peebles and in Edinburgh after he removed there, by those in difficulties, and many had occasion to remark his fearless rectitude as well as his sagacity. His brother's great friend, Rev. J. Dalgleish, a mis- sionary in the West Indies, wrote of him after his ANTECEDENTS 3 " death as follows : Religion was with him not a profession but a moving principle, going with him where he went and regulating all his conduct, and hence that thorough consistency which commended itself to all who knew him, and made him respected everywhere." On public questions of the time, such as the Corn Laws, Slavery, and Disestablishment, he held strong opinions, nor does he seem to have been in any way slow in giving expression to them. In politics he was an Advanced Liberal, and the Rev. David Cairns, who as a student frequently had the opportunity of discussing matters with him, says that " to make sacrifices for his faith he was ready political ; for when the Scottish Press newspaper, which was then the organ of the Advanced Liberal party in Scot- land, had got into financial difficulties, he became for a the of the as he time proprietor newspaper ; and, lost himself expressed it, both temper and money in the unwonted enterprise."

There is a strik­ ing resemblance between the writings of the temperamental Scot­ tish moralist and the rhapsodies of the stern prophets of Isra­ el. Imos and Carlyle are at one in condemning the indolent rich for "selling the needy for a pair of shoes." They share a common attitude in their bitter denunciation of an institution­ alized religion which has hid the light of spiritual power to the point of extinction under the bushel of ecclesiastical formalism. Carlyle, though he turned away from the gates of a clerical career, became the outstanding religionist of his century, touching liberal thinkers in all fields of social en­ deavor those of the church, ^together with those of the political arena.

  • Edward Caird
    EDWARD CAIRD was born in Greenock on 23 March, 1835, the fifth of seven sons of John Caird, a Greenock engineer who died in 1838, and Janet Roderick Young from Paisley. Caird lived during his early years with his aunt Jane Caird, who was deeply devout and determined to instil religion into Edward. He was educated at Greenock Academy until the age of fifteen when he entered Glasgow University in 1850. He attended classes in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity, but ill health required a change of air, first at St. Andrews, and then Errol in Perthshire where his elder brother John, destined to become Principal of the University of Glasgow, was the parish minister. He went to Dresden in order to become better acquainted with the language and classical literature. He was particularly fond on Goethe, having been influenced by reading Carlyle's poetic and philosophical idealism. In 1858 he resumed his studies in Glasgow and took classes in Divinity, but then changed his direction and translated to Oxford where he became re-acquainted with his former class friend John Nicol who founded the Old Mortality Society whose members included A. V. Dicey and T. H. Green. Caird was the only undergraduate invited to join. He was taught by Jowett at Oxford, and became extremely friendly with T. H. Green, who he regarded as a kindred spirit in politics and attitude towards education as well as in philosophy. Caird graduated in 1863, and became a fellow and tutor of Merton College until his elevation to the chair of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1866.

  • Challenges To
    About the author Philosopher Lynne Renoir questions the traditional view of God as an all powerful being who created the universe and governs it according to his will. She argues that such an idea can be challenged philosophically, and that it does not accord with discoveries in modern science. On the other hand, she suggests, it is evident that experiences of transformation can occur in the lives of individuals who wholeheartedly embrace religious beliefs. Her book explores possible explanations for this situation by proposing that truth is found in the inner dimensions of a person’s being, and is not something that can be imposed from an external source. Renoir’s work was the result of her own difficulties in experiencing the transformation she sought through her Christian faith, and followed years of research undertaken in the areas of philosophy, science, and psychology.

  • Miscellaneous
    MISCELLANEOUS. JOHN CAIRD. (1820-18g8. ) Dr. John Caird, whose portrait we give in connexion with the present note, occupied the distinguished position of Principal of the University of Glasgow, JOHN CAIRD. Scotland. from 1873. till his lamented death in July, 18g8. With the exception of Gladstone and Carlyle. he was in many ways the most remarkable Scotsman of the last generation. At all events it may be said that he, along with his eminent brother, THE OPEN COURT. Edward Caird, now Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and for twenty-sevp.n years Professor of Philosophy in the University of Glasgow. accomplished more than any two men elsewhere in Europe to alter the entire intellectual outlook of a na­ tion. John Caird was born at Greenock, on the Clyde, in 1820. In 1845, after a dis­ tinguished academic career, he graduated from the University of Glasgow, and entered the ministry of the Church of Scotland as a moderate Calvinist. Between 1845 and 1857 he gained the reputation. which he never lost, of being the most elo­ quent preacher in Britain. Those who know say that no one could stand compari­ son with him, and that only Schenkel of Heidelberg served to remind one of him. He thus gained enormous influence with masses of men; and his opportunity to use this continuously came when he was removed to Glasgow, in 1857. But, ere this took place, a change had come over his opinions. He had been deeply affected by German thought, especially by Hegel and Vatke. When he was appointed to the professorship of Theology at Glasgow, in 1862, he had both occasion and time to continue his researches, with the result that he became to his countrymen the great spokesman of a modified Hegelianism.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
